They Might Be Giants: SEXXY Meaning

SEXXY Lyrics

Dressed only in clothes
From her head to her toes
This is the way
The talking part goes

S-e-x-x-y
More than enough
Around the clock with nobody else
S-e-x-x-y

There she is
Standing on the bed
Cookie in one hand, wig on her...

   I definitely thought it was about either a transvestite or a hermaphrodite. The X is Extra, the Y is "extra" (genitalia) Also things like "secret agent spy" (for the other gender) or "wig on her head."
   
   "Look inside you eye/mind" is that deep down you probably know, but are afraid to test it. The obvious is at the end "she wants to be your man."
   
   Anyhoo, that's my take.

   It seems to be about Klinefelter's syndrome, where a male has an extra X chromosome.

   Again I think tis one is pretty simple, it's about a prostitute.
   
   Dressed only in clothes
   From her head to her toes
   This is the way
   The talking part goes
   
   Only in clothes means that unlike some other girl you would have to woo, she doesn't have any sensibility you have to get through for sex, she only has clothes, and the talking part is the asking, agreeing.
   
   There she is
   Standing on the bed
   Cookie in one hand, wig on her head
   S-e-x-x-y
   
   I guess she does fetishes. that and she's kinda street. She's s e double x y. kinda like snoop d o double g. but she's also dumb, shouldn't she be triple x?
   
   Unnoticed by few
   Very very few
   And that includes you
   
   It's hard to drive past a bunch of hookers without noticing them, either you are offended, or an interested John as this song infers.
   
   Secret agent spy, come to see why
   
   A reference to hotel detective perhaps, her place of business. I don't know, maybe not.
   
   Baby’s first gold tooth initials inscribed
   
   Yeah, she's definitely hood, she's got a gold tooth with her initials on them.
